ECE 477 Biological Modeling Class

ECE 477 — Biological Modeling (5 units)

MoWeFr: 2:00 - 3:10pm and Th 12:45-3:15pm

Prerequisite: ECE 304, ECE 330, and MATH 230 or 330

Recommended prereq: ECE 434

Course description:
The course expands upon the systems and signal processing concepts introduced
in ECE 304, ECE 330 and ECE 434 to develop the tools to model physiological
processes and the feedback control of these processes.
This course is a senior level introduction to the theoretical and practical
aspects of signal processing and dynamic systems behavior as they relate to
physiological, biological, and biomedical systems. The topics covered will
include sampling theory, continuous and discrete Fourier transforms and
series, Laplace transforms, Linear systems theory, signal filtering, models
of biological and physiological systems, and analysis of dynamic and feedback
systems.

This course can be used for 5 units of the 15 elective units required for
computer and electrical engineering students.

This class can be used to replace ECE 160 for computer and electrical
engineers on the 2013/15 catalog. It can also be used for 3 of the 15 elective
units required for computer and electrical engineering students, or for 3
units of general elective credit for computer information systems students,
regardless of catalog.

Winter 2015 Advising Notes Update

Computer Science students who are on the waitlist in Winter 2015 for core
300-level CMPS courses and who plan to graduate by June 2015 should contact
Dr. Melissa Danforth for individual course substitution plans. In general,
given the large number of seniors on the waitlists, an additional 400-level
course (beyond the 400-level course requirements for the CMPS concentrations)
can be used to substitute for a 300-level core course for those who are
planning to graduate by June 2015. You will need to come by Dr. Danforth's
office for a substitution form in order for your grad check to be
processed correctly. This is a temporary substitution purely for those trying
to graduate by June 2015, as additional sections of the courses are planned
for the 2015/16 academic year.

CMPS 305 in Winter 2015

For those who are interested, CMPS 305 - Numerical Analysis, can be used as
a substitution for a 400-level elective course for the main Computer Science
track. The course meets on MWF from 11:30-12:40 and Th from 10:00-12:30, and
is being taught by Dr. Marc Thomas. The prereqs are Calc 3 and CMPS 221. It
is also cross-listed with MATH 305 for any mathematics majors who might be
interested in the course.
